Solaris compile fails with mdns > 0.2.1

[Makea]

Compile fails due to mdns errors on both 0.2.2 and 0.2.3.

If I use the –disable-mdns option, I get a working binary.

I was able to recompile 0.2.1 with no problems.

As howl is overkill for me, it would be nice to have mdns working again.

Here’s an snippet of the errors:

mDNS.c:1187: error: first argument to `va_arg' not of type `va_list'

mDNS.c:1201: error: first argument to `va_arg' not of type `va_list'

What version of solaris, and what compiler?

The code in question certainly looks right… it may well be wrong, but it sure looks right.

As a workaround, you might consider using the patch on nightlies.mt-daapd.org and patching 0.2.1.1 until someone can submit a patch for solaris. Sadly, I have no access to a solaris machine, so I have no real way of verifying good builds on solaris.

My apologies. I should have known better!

Solaris Sparc 9, using gcc3.4.4. Hardware is an Ultra 5.

How do I apply the patch?

[rpedde]

should be able to untar the 0.2.1.1 distribution, and download the patch from nightlies.mt-daapd.org.

cd into the src directory, and:

patch < itunes-5-fix.patch

then ./configure, etc.

[Makea]

Okay, I recompiled with the patch applied.

However, iTunes 5 on both my powerbook and emac just shows ‘Loading mt-daapd’ for ~minute then dumps me back to my iTunes library.

At least it’s an improvement over the prior message of ‘unsupported itunes share mumbo jumbo’!

Thanks for the help.

[Makea]

Thanks TBjornA! Compilation worked fine.

However, it still times out using iTunes. Must be my conf file or something.

[rpedde]

Wait… you didn’t get the va_arg error above?

[Makea]

The mdns errors disappeared after I edited rc/mDNSClientAPI.h line 534 with TBjornA’s instructions on version 0.2.3. It compiled smoothly.

[rpedde]

you can specify a logfile in the config file, and run it with a -d9. Might get more info that way.
